Here is a caricature of a world map that was created in Japan prior to 1914 which is over 100 years ago. Now, it looks quite unusual and it became a popular topic online.
Countries have caricatures of animals associated with them and the size and strength of these animals appear to represent the relative global power of the countries in 1914 from the Japan perspective. Russia as a bear, China as a pig, India as an elephant, Japan as a samurai and the USA aa a bystander are some of the interesting features. Please take a look.

China is depicted as a large pig.

Germany is depicted as a wild boar which was also done during the First World War in Europe.
America appears to be a bystander in the lower right.
